that allows you to explore all the ASA’s resources including:

HOW DO YOU FIND A RESOURCE
Let’s say at your local ASA meeting you overhear someone
talking about a new resource about setting up an SMSF. How
would you go about finding it
Firstly, you could go the SMSF SIG page and select the
Resources tab. If the resource is a recent one, you may find
the resource listed near the top of the list.
Finally, you might go straight to the Resources page via the
quick link tab on all pages except the home page or through
the menu under Education, News and Resources. Here you
can use the ‘search’ function in the left hand menu to find any
of the ASA’s resources.
Step 1: Select the category by
checking the relevant box or boxes
after you select the drop down menu
- if you don’t know a category, just
leave it set at ‘Any’. Once you have
selected your relevant category, then
just click anywhere outside the check
box area and the list will disappear.
Step 2: If needed - refine your search
by selecting a special interest group
relevant to your search - again check
the relevant box or boxes after you
select the drop down menu and click
anywhere outside the check box area
to close the list - in this case you can
presume that the SIG will be ‘SMSF’
Step 3: If needed- use type to select
by a resource type - there are four
resource ‘types’, each denoted by a
small icon.
Step 4: Once you have made all your
selections, click the Apply button and
a list of resources will be shown that
meet all your criteria.
Secondly, you think the resource might be a Tutorial, so you
could visit the Tutorials page and search the tutorial resources
attached there.
Alternatively, you can scroll through the entire list of resources
on the page or use the ‘Relevance to me’ tab or search
alphabetically.
The range of resources available is extensive – happy reading!
